VIP Class Notes (Nicholas) [W/S]

Is it good for people to get drunk occasionally? Why or why not?

Original

Do you have any religious beliefs? Do you have a moral code? 道德准则
I don’t have any religion, but if I have to choose a religious belief, except myself, I choose Ms. tigress….however she is not as kind as Jesus, she always suggests a right way to me.
I think there are a lot of moral codes around us to guide(???)our behavior. For me the most important moral code is respect each other, never criticize someone’s parents and friends, because for me criticizing my parents and friends is off limits. And never cheat on someone’s partner. Others I think it is basic moral code which we should follow. But occasionally, we do immoral behavior even though we know it is immoral. For example,If someone is rude to you , you hard to keep calm and talk to him/her with cool-minded.
